Trump’s $65 Million Bonus, Sarah Palin’s Four Emmy Submissions

While it may be expensive to run for president, it turns out it’s quite lucrative to pretend to run for president. NBC has allegedly agreed to pay self-described billionaire Donald Trump and his Apprentice co-producer Mark Burnett “an estimated $160 million over two years, according to sources familiar with the contract,” the New York Post reports. Post operatives say that Trump will get $65 million. If he plays his Trump Taj Mahal Casino and Resort-brand cards right, he may soon actually be as rich as he thinks he is.

In other political/television news, The Hill—in an article titled “Palin Could Win an Emmy”—reports that Sarah Palin is technically up for a few Emmy’s. TLC, the network formerly known as The Learning Channel, submitted Sarah Palin’s Alaska in the categories of best reality program, music composition, picture editing, and cinematography. Palin, in her capacity as executive producer, would take home a statue in the event of any victories. The other executive producer? Mark Burnett, the non-Trump gentleman from the previous paragraph.
